Overview

World Cup Soccer: Italia '90 is a football video game released for various home computers in 1990 by Virgin Mastertronic. It is the officially licensed game of the tournament. It was known simply as Italia '90 for the Tronix budget reissues. The game is presented in a bird's-eye view but when the player gets near the goal, it switches to a 3D view of the penalty area and the player must try to score before a defender arrives on screen. The player can only choose to play as England, Belgium, Italy or Spain. The teams do not have the correct coloured strips and the tournament is not the same as the actual World Cup. This videogame was also the last ever FIFA World Cup videogame to have West Germany and East Germany divided.
